The thumb inner side 2 is completed by thumb back 25 extending to wristward terminus 26 approximating the wristward portion 5 of the palm 1 and wristward terminus 27 of the little finger back 18, 19, and wristward terminus 28 of hand back 29 proper, which has the knuckle covering 22 overlap the upper half thereof in the region of the finger crotch. From the wristward portions 5, 26, 27, 28, there is extended gauntlet 30.
